TLDR
In this article, a phase annealing method, related to the simulated-annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution.
Abstract
A number of extensions to the multisolution approach to the crystallographic phase problem are discussed in which the negative quartet relations play an important role. A phase annealing method, related to the simulated annealing approach in other optimization problems, is proposed and it is shown that it can result in an improvement of up to an order of magnitude in the chances of solving large structures at atomic resolution. The ideas presented here are incorporated in the program system SHELX-90; the philosophical and mathematical background to the direct-methods part (SHELXS) of this system is described.

Synthesis of symmetric dithiophosphinic acids for minor actinide extraction

TL;DR: In this paper, new aromatic dithiophosphinic acid (R2PS2H; DPAH) derivatives were isolated using a synthetic pathway based on nucleophilic addition at phosphorus, which leads to regiospecific aromatic substituents on phosphorus.
